@npub1xfd…t3yh @npub1psd…9sr7 it's a shame LibDems can't seem to capitalise. Having them as the main opposition would be delicious.

@npub1psd…9sr7 @npub10ld…5nj4 my thoughts exactly. the only unknown is how adept they are at being cute and gaining our affections when they want to. the whole mammalian baby-faced charm thing will have passed them by.

@npub10ld…5nj4 @npub1psd…9sr7 not to forget, they won’t be like in Jurassic Park, they’ll be smaller, covered in feathers, possibly in gorgeous colours, and snuggly. Still with murder talons though…

@npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1jpa…6p97 it doesn't seem to be talking about scrubbing the surface but some semi-magical way to rejuvenate silicon cells by some kind of molecular excitation. i suppose at a squint you could say that is what "cleaning" is, but it could as easily describe "burning”… it sounds like woo, especially if, as they say, a five minute treatment gives five years of protection.

@npub1psd…9sr7 are we at the ‘special marker pen round the rim of the CD’ stage already?

@npub1psd…9sr7 i think before snorting i would ask them: what do you do about this?
i mean, i don't know if they'd have an answer... but they probably should.
(reads the unexpectedly readable article)
looks like they have some thoughts:

@npub1psd…9sr7 I was wondering when that penny would drop. Reading what they were writing about her and thinking, I bet the GC stuff is coming any moment… it just fits so well I almost feel I should be careful about confirmation bias.

@npub1psd…9sr7 oh yes, the sync problem on scriv. there i was thinking, i should look at scriv again, and then when i do, i'm always reminded of the sync problem… and then i forget again… IIRC there is a recommended workflow that should be safe, but make one mistake one time and you smash the document to pieces.

@npub1058…s60l @npub1psd…9sr7 there may be many reasons to start one's own publishing company - we hear a lot on here about how the publishing industry is disordered for authors at the moment - but that's not a strong reason, on its own. If you were going to do it *anyway* though... 😅
every author has their own preferences though. I read one who says he even *prefers* Word! Gonna get him to export to markdown and learn git?

@npub1psd…9sr7 that is what i thought wrt publisher's workflow. one switch to word at that point and onwards. I don't mind the subscriptionware aspect of Ulysses (I get why), but I think i'm going to have to admit i don't really like spending time in it for some reason, despite preferring markdown generally. I've even been using Pages in preference of late: utterly the polar opposite! (and I think would be awful for proper long-form; not as bad as Word though!)

@npub1psd…9sr7 i've been wondering: what's the process here? When it comes time to start back-and-forthing with the publisher do you just convert to Word once and thereafter that's the master doc, or do you keep converting both ways? I'd have thought the latter would be a bit fragile, but more so than just having to use Word?
Also, have you tried Ulysses, if you like Markdown? (Genuine question: want to know what you don't like.)
